Making A Gift In Your Will What Is Legacy Giving?

Leaving a gift in your will is a way for your

generosity to last beyond your own lifetime.

You may decide to leave a specific sum of money

or an item such as a painting or jewellery or you or

you may wish to donate the remainder of your

estate once your family and loved ones have been

provided for.

Legacy Giving is the largest single source of

income to UK charities and is completely free of

inheritance tax.

Who Can I Leave A Legacy To?

You can request that your gift is used for a

particular purpose or that it is left to Forth Valley

Giving, in which case the Trustees of the Charity

will ensure that it is used where it is most needed.

How Do I Arrange This?

All you have to do is consult your Solicitor.

Alternatively, we can offer you free advice and

assistance through the NHS Scotland Central Legal

Office.

Remember, even if you already have a will, you can

make an amendment to it at any time.
